Denisova Cave in Siberia’s Altai Mountains is the only spot on the planet that’s known to have been lived in by Denisovans, ...

A groundbreaking discovery has been made in northern Saudi Arabia, where archaeologists uncoveredhuman footprints believed to ...

The last interglacial period about 127,000 to 116,000 years ago was the last time sea level was as high as or even higher than present-day sea-level. Understanding sea level change during the last ...

Working with the ice core ReCap, drilled close to the coast in East Greenland, researchers wondered why the dust particles from the interglacial period -- the warmer period of time between the ice ...

Smith College professors Allen Curran and Brian White have documented a sea-level change resulting from a "little ice age," which occurred during an interglacial period in the Pleistocene Period.

Ancient North American droughts were driven by Earth’s orbital shifts, study from the University of Helsinki finds.

Earth has two major modes: glacial and interglacial periods. Currently we are in an interglacial period with a warmer, more stable climate. But looking at the last ice age, which is the last ...

But those are just the rough outlines of what happens. Within both glacial and interglacial periods, there are changes in volcanic activity, aerosols, and ocean currents that can alter the timing ...

The Earth naturally cycles between cool glacial periods and warmer interglacial periods because of variations in its orbit around the sun. We currently are in an interglacial period, called the ...

The team found that the changes in the Earth's climate, from ice ages to warm periods like today called interglacial conditions, synced up to the orbital behavior. “We were amazed to find such a ...

We are currently in an interglacial period that began around 12,000 years ago as ice sheets retreated and greenhouse gases rose. That means we have to look farther back to find a time that might ...
